The primary requirement for a decentralized social network is "one app and it works". If your network requires anything other than installing a single application via the normal, easiest software installation pathway, it has failed and will never be adopted. No matter how l337 it is, if the installation instructions start with "Unzip this file, open port 999 on your router and prepare to edit the text file to start the server..." then it will never and can never work. Better yet if one can just open up a web browser (installing nothing!) and use it. ALL other requirements are secondary.
